Characters

Ron Trott

The head of the four-person law firm mainly cares about media interest in the cases, which usually have a wealthy and prominent clientele. In their cases, which are often of national interest, he is a guest on several talk shows , with the aim of ensuring that as many of the jury as possible decide in favor of his client.

Tom Nicholson

He only accepts cases if he is convinced of his client's innocence. Because of his charm, he comes first in the courtroom to win the jury in his own favor.

Alden Tuller

The only woman in the quartet of lawyers is mainly concerned with analyzing evidence and reconstructing accidents, although she also gets help from specialists.

Luther Graves

The fourth head on the legal team is a former prosecutor, which helps lawyers best prepare for the courtroom. In addition, of course, he also tries to save the accused from being convicted.

Stylistic devices

  • The biggest difference between Justice and other legal series (such as Boston Legal ) is that at the end of each case the actual course of the crime is shown and the viewer learns in this way whether the final judgment was right or wrong .
  • In addition, so-called " mock trials " are used to find out in advance and especially during a hearing whether and why the prosecutor or the defense is better received by the jury. "Mock-Trials", which only work unofficially for the defense, observe the negotiation and then determine in an e-voting which party from their point of view is more credible. The results are then evaluated by the defense during the hearing and also used to adapt their pleading to the ideas of the not yet convinced jury and in this way ultimately to reach all jurors with the appropriate intention .
  • In the final phase of every court hearing, before the verdict is announced, the matrix effect is used, with the slow but more exciting action being accompanied by fast and aggressive tracking shots as well as similar cuts.
  • It is also shown that the action usually does not always follow the same pattern, but can always be varied . An example of this is, for example, when a high-speed car trip follows a hearing from a client.
